THE MONTANA UNION.

With regard to the Montana Union, l
can tell you that the water at Garrison is
very high, and really felt alarmed for the
safety of the track. We worked hard there
all day-f with the rest OF my men. We
put in twenty cars of rock, and have got
watchman on the spot to look out for the
least indication of danger. If the water
doesn't get any higher we will pull through
all right. but if it should l don't know
what will become Of US. The ditch and
river are carrying all they can now."

Farm Topics.

LETTERS OF FALL PIGS-lt needs extra warm pens and good feeding to make late Fall pigs pay for winteriug. As d rule pigs dropped in October or later should be sold for what they will bring. They will cost more to Winter than they will be worth in the Spring
 SWEET POTATOES FOR HOGs.- - To us at the North it may seem strange to grow sweet potatoes for hogs, but it is sometimes suc- ceSsfully done by Southern farm CTS. Ofcourse the pigs do the digging. The sweet potatoe IS more palatable and nutritious than our common variety, and it's sweetness makes it especially adapted for feeding fattening hogs.
 WINDFALL APPLES .-Bruised apples soon decay, and there are few windfallS that are not some what bruised. A very few of these in bartell will spoil the whole be- fore Winter is over. They are fit only for immediate use, and for tb;o 4t,., @ nttau ,nunh xy,sta as the bruised spot is disc0lored and must be cut out before eating or cooking. lu most cases the wind- falls are also worm eaten, which causes their premature ripening.
 BUYING SURPLUS POULTRY.-I At this season most poultry breed. els close of the surplus stock ac- cumuated during the Summer, and which they cannot afford to Winter. Rarely can the best fowls he bought, but thorough bred. c4n be had more cheaply Ihan ai any other season. II k best for farmers who have a let of rnn.out mungrels to close them out now aud stock mp with the best btiIuanlr. If they get fewer fowls they will cost less food and shelter iu Winter, and next season the nnuber miY be increased in definitely.

AGRICULTURAL.
Profits of Keeping Sheep.

Profits of Keeping Sheep.
 If d farmer has plenty of pa tience, and is willing to give close attention to details in the care ot stock, he can make more money for food consumed from sheep than from any other stock. But not one farmer in ten will care to give them the attention they re- uuire at certain seasons of the year; so the few who do take good care of a flock will find good m mtrket for mutton, and demand for wool at some price, usually enough to pay for wlnterihg lne flock. A farm which is rolling Tn its surface seems perfectly adapt ed to sheep raising. Such land needs grass on the hill-tops to keep 1t from washing, and sheep need hill-tops and sweet, short grass. They like to lie down on hillside in tue spring, where the sun makes the ground dry and warm, and where they are protect ed from the cold sweep of the wlnd. If there is boulder two feet high and few feet wide, the little lambs will be perfectly hap py while racing down to the rock and jumping on and then of agaln. Ifsheep are salted on certain day of the week usually, and that day passes without the usual sup ply, chorus of bleating will be raised whenever the tlock-master is ill sight, until the coveted SUD- ply of salt is given. They know when the day for salt arrives as wei as the owner does.
 The greatest profit from sheep is not in mutton or wool, but ln the enhanced fertility of the farm on which they are kept. No oth- CT stock can compare with sheep in this direction. This increased value comes from two causes: the large quantity of solld and liquid manure deposited on all the land, and particularly on the high est and poorest points in the pas ture. The manure, being fine and well scattered, Is pressed about the roots of the grass, where 1t gives the greatest possible beneilt. Another source whereby the grasses are encouraged is the de struction of bushes and many kinds of weeds which grow where cattle and horses only are pastur- ed. Hazel-brush fare very badly in the sheep pasture, and wild ros- es, rag-weed, burdocks, and Oth- CT weeds are selected first, and then the sheep look for grass. In this way asheep pasture be- comes like a beautiful lawn, and every year grows better; but if the farmer sees millions in sheep,' and over.stocks his fields, then the grass goes with the bushes and weeds. Then the sheep get poor, tumble down one after another, their ambition lessens and their flesh goes, and the unfortunate owner, or imprudent manager, votes sheep perfect nuisance.- American griculturlst.

READING THE BlBLE.-Mr. Moody likens tue way some peo- ple use book marks i'll reading their Bibles to a boy sticking a stick in the last hill ot corn he hood before dinner, for fear he might not be able to tell when he came back where he left off, and hoe that same one again. Corn hood in that style ought to be hoed over again, and Scripture that has been read so as to leave no distinct impression on the mind, has not been read at all.

THE OPIUM HABIT.

 There Any Emancipator?
 The NewYork papers lately pub lished very pathetic story about very popular emotional actress. It was to the effect that she had become a confirmed victim of the opium habit, involving an almost total loss of physical and mental powers and actual Restitution.
 The story was at once demed oy her friends, who say she has su1er- ed simply from nervous prostra- tion, is in no need of pecuniary ald and is on the way to speedy recov' cry.
 Opium victims are usually hope less, helpless slaves, mind weak ened, lacking energy for any et' fort toward recovery, rapidly drifting into imbecillty and untime- ly graves.
 A peculiar feauture is that vic tins craftily conceal it from their nearest friends. A young lady at a school near Philadelphia was re- gently found to be secretly addict
 
 sd to it, keeping her medicine" ln a school room ...inkstand, and h. iecting he fluid into her arm with a stylographic pen!
 In the Chicago Farm Field and Stockman,-.S Sept. 24, .-lSS7, is this letter signed $. T. O., from Bar stow, Ky: "I missed the paper that had my letter Tn, so l did not know that you made the request to know what it was l usedto break up the morphine habit. until l got d letter from gentleman asking information. should have an swered sooner It was Warmers safe cure. should have given 1t when I wrote the letter, but IL looked too much like an advertise ment.
 This voluntary statement goes to confirm the claim made by the proprietors of Warmers safe cure, that it is the only remedy in the world which has any decided pow CT over diseases of the kidneys and liver, and that this terrible habit cannot be cured until these organs have first been restored 10 full health, because they are the ones chiefly affected by this drug.
 Editor Vim. A. Rode, of Alton, IT,, was completely cured of the opium habit, acquired by long use in a painful malAdy, with War ner's safe care. It cannot be cured at allif the kidneys and liver are diseased.
 It is not claimed that there is anything Tn Warmers safe cure slone which will do away with the habit. except that it puts the kidneys and liver in a healthy condition, giving the whole system that strength and tone without winch any attempt to throw off the habit, would he vain.
 It is because physicians have discovered that no other remedy is so beneficial in restoring health to the liver, kidneys and general system as the one stated that it has come into general use in con nectiun with the special remedies Tor the cure of the dreadful opium habit.
 One of the worst features of the opium habit is the deadening of mental and moral sensibilitieS in proportion as it weakcns the phys lcal system and the will power. i
